Of course it's a one-sided blog, it's my blog, my side. It's clearly stated what side that is so if people want a different side they can go elsewhere. Since I don't get paid based on ratings, if people tire of it or aren't "hooked" then they tire of it or aren't hooked. What's more important is that I don't tire of it by wasting time on such matters. In other words, don't care. Thanks and thanks for taking the time though.Jarodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11157779744473766129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28563526.post-1155466362908630682006-08-13T05:52:00.000-05:002006-08-13T05:52:00.000-05:00Not a gripe, really, but only something for you to...Not a gripe, really, but only something for you to consider: In the future, consider excerpting a small passage or two (a few sentences or a paragraph only to avoid copyright issues) of the article and posting it in your blog. This will further illuminate your intent, strengthen the overall blog entry (check your grammar, too!), as well as provide incentive to follow those links to the read the articles. <BR/><BR/>In other words, hook us by using their words. (Do not post large excerpts.)<BR/><BR/>That said, always try to find an opposing viewpoint and post it--initially without deliberate bias--which can then be used as fodder for a healthy debate amongst your readers. You can even debunk it, should you choose. One-sided bloggers (and there are far too many of them) become tiresome. Challenge [question] your own viewpoints from time to time, look for alternative suppositions; things are <I>never</I> black and white, not even military tactics. It's always shades of gray. Give us both sides. Get the reader involved by adjusting your presentation slightly. You can, however, always state your opinion. <BR/><BR/>Or you can do whatever you like, of course. <BR/><BR/>You may very well be knowledgeable in history, but you haven't yet learned what it takes to engage a reader by making that history interesting and to the point. Perhaps you will, in time. Don't give up trying.<BR/><BR/>Finally, your "About Me" may need some reconsideration. Keep it short, skip the parenthenticals, and let your postings do the talking. Nothing goes without saying...<BR/><BR/>Best of luck.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28563526.post-1155368045080046452006-08-12T02:34:00.000-05:002006-08-12T02:34:00.000-05:00Yes indeed orhan, but sadly it is how things alway...Yes indeed orhan, but sadly it is how things always have and always will work in the world.Jarodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11157779744473766129noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28563526.post-1155366127707852512006-08-12T02:02:00.000-05:002006-08-12T02:02:00.000-05:00War, death and destruction is a strange way to gai...War, death and destruction is a strange way to gain anything.Mehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16888125796129754219noreply@blogger.com
